The Summer Law Intern Program (SLIP)
is the Department's competitive recruitment program for compensated
summer internships. Selection for employment is based on many elements
of a candidate's background including academic achievement, law review
or moot court experience, legal aid and clinical experience, and summer
or part-time legal employment. The Department also considers specialized
academic studies (including undergraduate and post-graduate degrees),
work experience, and extracurricular activities that directly relate
to the work of the Department.

law school; however, graduating law students who are entering a judicial
clerkship or full-time graduate law program may intern following graduation
subject to eligibility rules. Part-time law students are also eligible.
